ty by any class. The threat
, now is that this law will not obey
ed That intoxicating liquors in
worse quality, greater quantities,
and in more injurious and degra-
ding forms will be sold in defiance
of law. This threat is voiced by
men high up in place and honor
in the State. Full well we know
that this is seriously meant and all
the danger to society and free gov
eminent that it portends. Who
has not trembled with fear for lib
erty and for constitutional govern
ment too, when organized mobs
have, with club and torch, defed
| tie laws, A mob is nothing but a
t's1otsy Of people who disobey the
laws. When people have been ed
ucated into seeing, without dis
may, their laws disregarded and
disobeyed, liberty is already dead,
and free government at an end.
"On what does this, our Caesar

1t has trained in the school of dis
regarding and violating the reve-

lating the laws relating to minors;
of disregarding and violating Sun /
day laws; of disregarding and vio-
lating the gaming laws, until there
is no law human or divine that it /
respects when it comes in the way
of its nefarious traffic.
These are the people that now
talk about the loss of revenue to
the state, and increased taxation
if their traffic is stopped. Cut off
the drain of multiplied millions
through the rum shops, and the
people can afford to pay the taxes
required to support their govern
ment. Can we be fallen so low as
to try to want to make profit out
of vice and crime? They say we
will deprive the poor man of his
grog. Did the grog ever do him
any good? Do you mean to bene-
fit the poor man by selling it to
him? VIII he be any worse off
when he is deprived of it? The
human system never yet digested
a drop of alcohol. If the poor
mans money is no longer left at
the rum shop, it may then reach

That takes no account of the
cost of jails and jail fees paid by
the counties, of the Jurors and

above revenue of the penitentiaries
